"Premier First Class", "Semi-Directo", or "Local", the absolute
best travel bargain in Mexico is still the first class bus combined with
the public bus systems in the cities and with the connections to the
villages.  

Combine the first class bus systems with the taxis, "Collectivos"
and "Camionettas", Combis,  and crossroads collective taxis and
you can reach every corner of Mexico by first class bus  and
secondary service for  10-15 cents USD per mile,  

See below for explanation of levels of service and a list of stations
and destinations.

Reach the villages and do it inexpensively by making use of
Mexico's first class bus lines and then using the public bus
system, taxis, collectivos and camionettas in the city to reach the
remote beaches and ruin sites.

Mexico, south of Mexico City to the Yucatan and to the Guatemalan border.  

These buses serve the major cities and do so at varying levels of pricing and
service. (The price varies a great deal; the service does not except for fewer stops
and more legroom)  (see price breakdown below)

Types of Bus Service
  • Segunda Clase:  Second Class Bus, This is the second class bus and will
most often leave from a different terminal than the First Class, usually in the older
section of downtown perhaps near an old train station.  (Passenger train service
ended for Mexico in 1998.  The one remaining regularly scheduled train operates in
Mexico's Copper Canyon)  

Second class service breaks down further into:

  • Directo: Directo is supposed to make few stops in a station to station
    fashion but seldom does, although it does not stop at every way station
    through the mountains or along the coast.
Semi-Directo Makes more frequent but limited stops

  • Ordinario Ordinario is a local bus although it may travel for fifty to a hundred
    miles. It is very inexpensive but will make frequent stops.

First and Second Class Bus Lines:
Estrella Blanca is one of the lines covering the coastal area with first class buses
that might leave from a second class terminal.   Other second class service. Flecha
Amarilla,  (Except Primera Plus)  Estrella Roja

  • Village Buses:
Many small second class bus lines serve the villages from the second class
terminal.  Mexico is mountainous country to the extreme and often a bus will make
one trip in to the village and then park for the night to return to the city the following
day.

  First Class Bus Fare Breakdown:
This example is for a trip form Oaxaca City in Oaxaca State to San Cristobal de
Las Casa in Chiapas State, a distance of 380 Miles approximately
ADO Platino Bus   $622  Pesos
ADO   GL  $466 Pesos (Grand Lujo)
OCC  $338 Pesos  
The upper level of service will offer a shorter duration trip(few stops) and more leg
room.
